The "stories" we choose to tell about our pastare never what a video camera would have recorded.We can tell a sad story or a happy story,and neither story is eithermore accurate or "better" than the other story.The difference is that one story causes us to suffer,while the other brings us joy. I choose joy.- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I confessed recently to an old friend,"I realized I was looking at you,in your visit, through old glasses.Speaking old words.Telling old stories.I realize that in my life I've made so manyphysical changes and I need to give my spirit time to catch up."Time for my spirit to look at my friendthrough the new glasses of current life experiences.Old friends are precious.They become even more treasured when they are wrappedin the currentness of life experiencesand not relegated to the past in which they once lived.- Mary Anne Radmacher

If you have an emotional reaction in the presence of someone,your heart is telling you that you havenot resolved your issues with them.In other words, you have not truly forgiven that person.All of this begs the question, how do we forgive?First, cease lying to yourself and stop telling yourself storiesabout why you behave the way you do.Stop blaming your behavior on other peopleand take responsibility for your emotional reactions.If you could forgive all the people in your lifewho have hurt or wounded youit would be possible to be in control of your behaviorinstead of being in reaction to other people all of the time.Imagine living life without experiencinga constant emotional roller-coaster of pain, anger, and jealousy!That would be bliss!- Sheri Rosenthal
